CEO OF TAX PEOPLE GOING TO TRIAL
10 Jan 2008 – Michael Cooper who ran The Tax People (TTP) in Kansas that hurt the concept of multiple center binaries on startup. I am not attacking the binary but the fact that they used (a 3 legged binary). To buy in they sold 4 business centers, one main business center with three legs. To activate them you had to buy 4 tax packages for $1200. Problem was there was really no retail possibility for the tax packages as reported to the MLM Watchdog. So it caught the attention of regulators. Michael is back from Mexico and facing a BIG trial. See Michael Cooper > http://cjonline.com/stories/010908/loc_234315867.shtml
